If you're thinking about running in this fall's municipal elections, you'll have one extra piece of paperwork to fill out.

MD of Foothills Returning Officer, Heather McInnis says that's the candidate registration form, which basically says you're going to accept campaign donations.

"If you are going to be taking any type of funding, with the exception of self funding up to $10,000, you do need to pre-register with each municipality. Candidates cannot accept campaign contributions, including their own funds, over $10,000, unless they're registered with the municipality."

Civic elections will be held across Alberta in October.
